We have access to over 100 lenders and search the market to find the mortgage that’s right for you.












Founded in Edinburgh in 2015, Gateway began as an insurance brokerage dedicated to helping clients secure the right protection. Since then, we’ve expanded across Scotland and into England, bringing our trusted advice and expertise to mortgages, insurance and financial services.
The internet might make it seem easy to compare deals – but some of the best products simply aren’t available on comparison sites. As an independent mortgage broker, we have access to exclusive mortgage and finance products you won’t find elsewhere.
Buying a property is one of the biggest financial commitments you’ll ever make. Whether it’s your first home or an addition to your portfolio, we have access to over 100 lenders and will search the whole market to find the mortgage that’s right for you.
Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing or relocating, we’ll help you make your next move stress-free. Our whole-of-market approach ensures you find the most suitable mortgage for your changing needs.
Investing in property can be rewarding when you have the right finance in place. We’ll help you navigate buy-to-let criteria and find competitive mortgage options that maximise your return.
Whether you’re looking to save money or release equity from your home, we’ll find the most suitable remortgage deal for you. Our experts compare rates across the market to help you make the most of your mortgage.
If you’re self-employed, proving your income can be more complex — but we make it simple. Our advisers understand how different lenders assess applications and will help you present your finances in the best light.
Your home/property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
Not all Buy to Let Mortgages are regulated by The Financial Conduct Authority.
You may have to pay an early repayment charge to your existing lender if you remortgage.

LizTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marco was great from start to finish through my mortgage process as a first time buyer. My case wasn't straight forward, however, Marco went above and beyond to get me the best deal possible and kept me up to date through every step. Would recommend Carly KleimanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic from start to finish, really pleased to have used Gateway for my re-mortgage. David and Luisa are both super helpful and attentive, I could not fault the them. Jonathan KiddTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matthew has been brilliant. Highly recommend! David HilliardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have worked with Gateway for years now on my mortgage and recently secured a new build house and they advised that porting was not the best option so secured me a new deal and reclaimed the early repayment charge so I was not out of pocket. Also protected my income in the case I couldn’t pay my bills so honestly cannot praise them enough, especially David Thank you Gateway and I highly recommend to anyone looking for a mortgage adviser Callum WatsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. David is very personable, knowledgable and will always pick up the phone/respond to an email promptly. Really refreshing to have a mortgage advisor that makes himself available for you when you need and doesn’t mind making the time to answer questions (even the silly ones!). I’d thoroughly recommend David and the team at Gateway Financial Group. We have been working with David for a number of years now and are really impressed. Adam LawrieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish, I had a genuinely excellent experience with Gateway Financial. After another broker was unable to help me secure the lending I needed, Luisa and David stepped in and completely turned things around for me. Within just a few days of first contacting them, they secured the lending I needed and kept everything moving quickly and efficiently. Communication throughout was clear, prompt, and reassuring, which made the whole process feel far less stressful than I expected. Both Luisa and David were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive at every stage of the process. They really went above and beyond to understand and meet my needs. I can’t thank them enough and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and effective mortgage or financial support. Truly a credit to the industry. Paul HolmesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely fantastic service from David - extremely responsive, gave grounded, pertinent advice, and professional throughout. Tom RowbothamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marco has been fantastic throughout my house purchase. From our first conversation, when I was just trying to understand what was financially possible, right through to exchange, he has been incredibly helpful and supportive. I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to mortgages and the home-buying process, but Marco always took the time to explain things clearly and answer any questions I had. He regularly checked in, kept me updated, and made sure I understood what was happening at each stage. Buying a house can be a stressful process, but having someone as approachable and knowledgeable as Marco made it much easier. I really appreciate all the help and guidance he's provided and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Jules HillamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Friendly, helpful and professional throughout. David and Luisa were both really responsive and communicative talking me through every stage of the process. I would definitely recommend them and use them again without hesitation. John ReillyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honestly my wife and I can not thank marco enough for all the help and guidance through the whole process. From the very start nothing was too much trouble from the advice stage right through to completion. Honestly if anyone is thinking about purchasing their first home contact Marco. We just wish we did it sooner. Thank you again Marco
